It's been a while, but so much has happened.
What seems like a sad diagnosis of hypothyroidism (under-active thyroid) may actually have a silver lining. The road to wellness has been bumpy, but now with my thyroid under control, the gluten beast slayed and my general state of well-being gradually restored, it has led to my unexplained infertility turning out to no longer be an issue. Our first pregnancy ended in miscarriage, but herein lies the silver lining: we can try again!
And, click, the last piece of my fertility and overall health puzzle falls into place.
Thank you, universe.
